Prologue - April 28: Mule Pass Time Trial, 2.8 miles
Zajicek and Gomez take opening honours
|
The 28th Annual La Vuelta de Bisbee got underway Friday afternoon with the Mule Pass Prologue. Uncharacteristically cool weather greeted the cyclists for the 2.8 mile climb, but the stiff headwind on the course negated any benefit from the mild temperatures and set aside thoughts of a course record.
Phil Zajicek (Navigators) posted a time of 10.25 in the Elite men's division to take the top spot in G.C. Jeremy Powers (JellyBelly) stands 3 seconds back, with Corey Collier (Rocky Mt. Chocolate Factory) at 8 seconds down.
Mark Aasmundstad (Grand Canyon Racing) put in a time of 11:21 to take first in the men's B division. D.J. Fernandes finished second only nine seconds back.
The women’s prologue saw Felicia Gomez (Webcor) put 15 seconds on the second placed rider Anne Samplonius (Team Biovail), and 44 seconds on Mari Holden (T-Mobile) in third.
Saturday's a double stage day, beginning with the Sulphur Springs Road Race (79 miles) in the morning, and the Warren Time Trial in the afternoon.
